Details: Condition: BRAND NEW Format: Hardback ISBN: 9781035424450 Publisher: OH (Headline Publishing Group) Overview: Rice: 80 Easy Rice Recipes, From Mochi to Miso and Sushi to Sake is a vibrant hardback cookbook from award-winning food writer Makiko Sano, celebrating the humble grain that anchors so much of Japanese and pan-Asian cooking. Across 80 recipes, Sano guides home cooks through fragrant dashi rice, silky donburi bowls, hand-rolled onigiri, chewy mochi and even homemade sake-adjacent treats. With clear step-by-step instructions and stunning photography throughout, this book turns everyday rice into something genuinely exciting, whether you're cooking a quick weeknight bowl or a weekend feast for friends. About the Book: Building on the success of her previous title Ramen, Makiko Sano's Rice explores the preparation, cooking and storing of one of the world's most versatile store-cupboard staples. The book is organised into accessible chapters covering Kake Gohan, Donburi, Rice Noodles, Onigiri, Rice Cooker Dishes, Rice Flour, Savoury Rice and Rice Paper, so readers can find exactly the dish they're craving. Recipes range from comforting classics like katsu don and miso-scented fried rice to adventurous dishes such as aromatic pad thai and crisp tempura, all explained with the same warmth and precision that made Sano's earlier books popular. Practical notes explain how short, medium and long grain rices behave differently depending on the cooking method, while ingredient lists stay refreshingly short and achievable for a UK kitchen. The photography is generous and instructive, showing not just the finished plate but the key techniques along the way, from perfectly steamed grains to expertly shaped sushi and onigiri. This is a cookbook designed to be used again and again: a genuine kitchen companion rather than a coffee-table showpiece. Whether new to Japanese cooking or a confident home cook deepening their repertoire, Rice offers dependable results alongside real insight into technique, texture and flavour. It's the kind of book that quietly becomes a weeknight staple while still having enough range to impress at a dinner party.
